Take Horticulture further!

Here are other opportunities to explore horticulture:

Expand your garden and sell produce at farmers markets or to local restaurants

Learn about locally grown foods

Design an experiment and share the results at your school science fair.

Collect seeds and gardens supplies, and then donate them to a local organization.

Help children plant a garden at a local daycare or school

Job-shadow at a local nursery or farm to explore careers that interests you

Attend Iowa 4-H Youth Conference and participate in CSI: Crops and other workshops, motivational speakers and a community service project, bringing ideas back to your community

Is it fair time? Consider taking an exhibit, a piece of your project learning to the fair for judging and to show off what you have learned throughout the year. It might get selected to go to the Kansas State Fair.
